Judith Mackrell enjoys two out of three in the Royal Ballet New Works programme in the small Linbury Theatre at the ROH. Wayne McGregor's 'Symbiont', goes down very well - it is an extract from the terrific work I saw in the Clore Studio Theatre (with a much larger stage) 3 weeks ago. Matthew Hart's new work does not please, but Ashley Page's 'Sleeping With Audrey' is well received. <P><BR> <A HREF="http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/reviews/story/0,3604,335907,00.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/reviews<BR>/story/0,3604,335907,00.html</A> <p>[This message has been edited by Stuart Sweeney (edited July 06, 2000).]

Judith Mackrell reviews the second part of the RB New Works programme and finds much to enjoy, as I did. I did enjoy 'Aeon's Run' much more than her and so did most of those I spoke to - maybe a fraction long. Some of the 'tutu only' brigade were grumbling, however. Time permitting, I'll write a review. <BR> <A HREF="http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/reviews/story/0,3604,337670,00.html" TARGET=_blank>www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/reviews/story/0,3604,337670,00.html</A>

John Percival finds the RB New works programme a mix of good and not so good, but feels that I terms of new works the success rate is good.<P> <A HREF="http://www.independent.co.uk/enjoyment/Theatre/Dance/Reviews/2000-07/dance030700.shtml" TARGET=_blank>http://www.independent.co.uk/enjoyment/Theatre/Dance/Reviews/2000-07/dance030700.shtml</A> <P><BR>Debra Craine also gives her views. If you ever needed a reminder of the range of opinions that even professional critics can have, compare Crane's view on 'Aeon's Run' with that of Percival.<BR> <A HREF="http://www.the-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/00/07/03/timartdan01002.html" TARGET=_blank>http://www.the-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/00/07/03/timartdan01002.html</A> <BR>
